Since the Galaxy Z Fold 4 burst onto the scene two summers ago, I've used every big-screen foldable sold here in the States. I've jumped between Samsung, Google, and OnePlus, comparing what these companies got right and wrong on their respective hardware, and by the end of 2023, it felt like we had achieved some kind of status quo. Samsung remained the default favorite, having traded innovation for a reliable, known experience, while OnePlus felt like the underground hit with tech reviewers that, unfortunately, would likely struggle to convince anyone to swap out of their ecosystem of choice.

After a week with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, I'm finally starting to get foldables

Just a couple of weeks after Google launched its first couple of Pixel 9s into the wild, it's time for us to turn our attention to the big boy. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold isn't just a successor to last year's Pixel Fold — it's practically a reinvention in every way. I've had the device for nearly a week now, and while we aren't ready to deliver a full review just yet (all in due time), here are the ten changes you need to know when jumping from the Pixel Fold to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Spoiler alert: even OG Fold owners might want to think about upgrading.

‘Any meat items my dogs refuse to eat, I no longer eat.’ It’s said that animals have a “sixth sense,” which affords them an insight human beings cannot match. There are clips of security camera earthquake footage where pets can be seen wigging out seconds before tremors begin.

There's nothing as enjoyable as hitting the road with my partner and our dog to explore new places and get a bowl of fresh air while we soak up the beauty of nature. While this sounds fun, long trips take planning. Given our pet's raw diet, his meals must stay fresh and cool during long road trips. Also, while we love the excitement of new adventures, our floofball gets messy after playing with friends in the forest, taking a swim, and having playtime at the beach.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 wasn't the reinvention many of us hoped it would be, but it's still an excellent foldable. The refined shape makes it easier to use and put in a pocket, and One UI is still a fantastic software skin to use on a folding phone. Folding phones have come a long way, and with enhanced armor aluminum, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back and cover screen, and an IP48 water and dust resistance rating, the Fold 6 is more durable than ever.

I don't usually recommend upgrading phones after less than two years. Most of the time, there isn't enough difference to warrant spending more money after such a short period. However, Google Pixel phones recently experienced a glow-up, with Google correcting many of the issues I had with previous generations. My...

Compared to the Pixel 8 Pro, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL promises to be quite the upgrade, both inside and out. We’re guessing if you shelled out the hefty $1,100 for the 9 Pro XL, a case is next on your shopping list. And if you’re as clumsy as we are, you may want to invest in a heavy-duty case.

Earlier this year, Google started testing a feature for the Play Store that we hadn't seen since a separate, short-lived test in 2019, and it was one that many thought should have been a staple of the platform since its inception. That feature has finally rolled out, and now that we're using it, we're even more confused that it wasn't already a thing.

A leaked render suggests the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra will retain the notch and dual-camera setup from previous models, disappointing those hoping for a design overhaul. The Tab S10 Ultra is expected to feature a 14.6-inch display, dual USB Type-C ports, and a familiar sleek design with a gray color option.

When your temper flares are you a raging bull? A vicious Virgo or a conniving Capricorn? Emotions are complex states that involve physiological, behavioral, and cognitive changes. They influence how we perceive the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions. However, our emotions are not the only factor that influences our behavior. Astrology can be a telling factor as well.

I've never tried a Nubia phone before. I know Nubia has a lot of loyal fans, and wanted to find out why.
